Plan will be to continue to develop him and hope he can contribute this year. But at this point we cannot assume he can be counted on. A few days ago Kap claimed he is progressing and getting better.

With Boldin, Manningham and Kyle Williams all in the last year of their deals and no dependable receiver (looking at you AJ Jenkins) who can take the top off a defense, we are likely going to have to address the receiver position at some point in the first three rounds...with obviously someone who can stretch the field vertically.

WRs frequently don't do much until the second half of year two. If he still hasn't done anything a year from now, then it's time to worry.

Manningham is not going to be ready to start the season and likely won't see the field until the second half of this year. So with Crabtree and Q penciled in as the starters that leaves Williams, Jenkins and Ricardo Lockette and Marlon Moore sitting behind them. Not exactly much depth behind your starters unless the light comes on for AJ fairly soon.

Not entirely worried and there is still a lot of hope as we have to be expecting him to play a role but we cannot go into the draft assuming we are set at the position especially given that 3 of those receivers are in the final year of their deal.

- Browns possibly looking to move up to 3 for Mingo
- Jets eyeing Austin at 9, teams wanting him will have to move up ahead of them. Seems likely to be a top 10 pick.
- 49ers want to move into top 15. Sheldon Richardson is their target.
- Eagles have a group of 4 players they'll choose from if they stay at 4, have a larger group of 8 players if they move down likely limiting how far they'd be willing to drop.

I'm not buying it. The Bills clearly want to move down and select Nassib at a better "value".

I love Austin, but this hype is insane. He is still 175 pounds.

__________________Kaepernick is this years pat white. Thin, gimmick offense and doesn't possess an nfl arm. The ncaa constantly regurgitates clones of past players and amazingly enough, tricks some people into thinking they're better than their cloned half. Kaepernick was a complete waste of a senior bowl qb spot. A better qb will come from the east/west shrine or whatever they're calling it now...count on it

I'm skeptical of most of these rumors that have just come out this week. A lot of these rumors sound like teams are trying to entice others to trade up. I really question if the Jags are really going to take a tackle at #2, or if they're trying to get Detroit or Arizona to move up. I feel the same way about the Tavon Austin in the top ten talk.

Right now there are a ton of teams trying to move down and it seems like they will have to take less than in years past to do so. I bet a lot of these rumors are trying ton inflate the value of the top ten picks. There are rumors every year, but this year is just ridiculous. I think I've heard 20-25 who have a chance to go in the top ten and at least 60+ players who could go in the first round.

If I were the 49ers GM, I'd call up the perpetually bad teams and offer one of those picks straight up for a first round pick next year. If you luck out and get a top-3 pick then the payout will be huge. You either draft Clowney or trade down for a king's ransom.

It could happen, but I'm skeptical. I think he'll go late 1st. I bet most of the rumors on Patterson were started by teams in the late 1st to push him down to them. Patterson is "dropping" due to intelligence concerns, but Tavon Austin got single digits on the Wonderlic and some teams supposedly have him #1 overall on their boards.
